Weekend Chat: The Future of Pro-Ams

Your comment section for the third weekend of January

Weekend Chat: The Future of Pro-Ams
Weekend Chat: The Future of Pro-Ams

The only thing more dependable than the Club TFE Weekend Chat post is that the Dallas Cowboys will keep their coach around too long. Frankly, the NFL is more fun with Mike McCarthy around. I say let him stay as long as he wants.

Anywho, let’s talk some golf. Comment section is down yonder. Get to it!

Club TFE Housekeeping

Save the date! Our first Club TFE virtual hangout will take place on Wednesday, January 31 at 1:00 p.m ET. We’ll send out multiple reminders and solicit member questions ahead of time.

We are still sending out member gifts for 2023 so don’t worry if you haven’t received yours just yet. But if you did sign up before May 2023 and haven’t gotten yours, please send me an email at members@thefriedegg.com and we’ll get that sorted out.

Your weekly reminder that code CLUBTFEMEMBER gets you 10% off the Fried Egg pro shop.

Details for the Iowa Road Trip, summer Club TFE Member-Guest, and the Club TFE meetup at Lido & Sedge Valley are nearly finalized. Details soon. For other events, the first two waves of 2024 Fried Egg Golf events are open to registration. You can register HERE and read more about each event HERE.

Your weekly question

The pro-am format of professional golf tournaments has been around for decades. Both the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour have Pro-Ams this weekend, the DP World Tour had one last week, and in February, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am takes centerstage. There are obvious cons to the structure, mostly to the viewer at home, but there are undoubtedly many benefits to the organizations running and hosting these tournaments.

If men’s professional golf were to evolve to the point where there are no pro-ams at the highest level, do you believe there would be any unintended negative consequences? Is there something to be said about the role these tournaments have played in the history of the PGA Tour, or is the format just a product of yesteryear? Let me know what you think.

Matt Rouches submitted a full set for today’s music selection. I hope it leads to some productivity on this Friday.

About the author

Will Knights

Golf was a big part of my upbringing as I grew up with a PGA Professional as a dad. I went to the course with him in the morning, helped out in the pro shop, caddied, and ultimately played golf in college before helping out in the early days of Fried Egg. While I’ve been involved in many different aspects of our organization over the years, today you’ll largely find me at our events and helping our membership as our Community Manager. And while I love this position, my dream job will always be starting shortstop for the Chicago Cubs.
